Far-right Fox News host Laura Ingraham has spent the last four years willing and eager to amplify conspiracy theories put forth by President Donald Trump and his allies to her millions of nightly viewers.
Such has been the case with Trump's lies that widespread voter fraud tipped the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden.
But even Ingraham isn't on board with a new effort a pair of notoriously pro-Trump lawyers is pursuing.
Though not officially connected with the Trump campaign, lawyers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood have worked to legitimize the President's lies about the 2020 election, excoriating Republican state leaders for not subverting the results of their state's vote in deference to Trump.
At a recent press conference in Georgia, the pair urged Republicans not to vote for incumbent Republican Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue until they demand Governor Brian Kemp call a special legislative session to change the state's election laws.
Ingraham sounded off against the idea in her Thursday night show.
Watch below.
Before interviewing David Perdue, Laura Ingraham denounces Lin Wood and Sidney Powell:
"Now, some severely misguided lawyers are actually urging Republicans... not to vote in the runoff, presumably because to do so would dignify what they believe to be a corrupt system." pic.twitter.com/bX8kw8BAuZ

After decrying Powell and Wood as "severely misguided," Ingraham held an interview with one of the Georgia Republican Senate candidates, Sen. David Perdue.

Ingraham said:
"Do the suburbanites need a united Republican party or do they need to people running around saying 'Oh don't vote and January 5th because that would be perpetuating a corrupt process?' When I heard that the other day I almost fell out of my chair. You almost don't deserve to win if you're that stupid, I'm sorry."
Though she now decries the lawyers' efforts, Ingraham herself had Sidney Powell on her show, where Powell amplified the false claims of voter fraud.
People don't seem to be heeding her calls to vote in the Georgia election.
Is there anymore doubt that @IngrahamAngle is a establishment GOP. She doesn't have to hide it anymore

If it was that important to the republic, then why are they doing the vote w/ the same system that is proven to be riddled with fraud and corruption? Maybe prove the system is fair first.

You have insulted us deplorables by telling us to accept these election results and to feel good about our fight. You have gotten too soft! Toughen up if you stand for Good and Truth to defend Our Lord's righteousness!

Lin said don't vote for Perdue and Loefler UNLESS GA officials address the fraud and clean up the system!! What good is it to vote in another dishonest election. Very easy for GA to require paper ballots this time around.....Why won't the Republican officials do that?

Trump's critics are relishing the Republican schism on whether or not to vote for Republican candidates.
The MAGA fever swamp has become so insane and conspiratorial that it has come full circle and now they are all turning on each other with sharpened knives and bloodlust. I welcome all of this. All of it.
And, again, MAGA, please do NOT vote in Georgia. Can't trust it :)
